Bruce Willis Reportedly 'Going Downhill Fast' As He No Longer Knows 'Some Faces' Amid Life In Care Home

There's a health update on Bruce Willis amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia, as close insiders spill on the actor's new life in a full-time care home.

The "Die Hard" star has been battling with the brain disorder since 2023, and a new report now says his health is "going downhill fast" as his family continues to support him.

Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, also recently revealed that she has moved him into a separate home away from their primary residence, where he has 24/7 access to a dedicated care team.

Bruce isn't getting any better as he continues to battle frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The Hollywood actor initially struggled with aphasia before he was diagnosed with dementia in February 2023.

FTD degenerates the brain's frontal and temporal lobes, affecting an individual's behavior and language abilities.

Although much of his decline has been kept hush-hush, there's no known treatment for the condition, and now, sources have revealed that his health is "going downhill fast."

"He is going downhill fast," a close source told the Daily Mail, adding that Bruce "doesn't know some faces" anymore.

The family insider went further to share that his daughters "are all spending as much time with him as they can," with the "Pulp Fiction" actor seemingly relishing their company because "he lights up when he sees his children."

Bruce's family has been supportive of him since he was first diagnosed with the condition.

His older daughters, Scout Willis, Rumer Willis, and Tallulah Willis, whom he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore, to whom he was married from 1987 to 2000, have all taken to social media to share glimpses of their time with him as well as fond memories they had growing up.

His second wife, Emma, in particular, has made it a point of hers to create awareness for the condition in a bid to better help individuals with it.

However, she recently came under fire from social media critics after revealing that she'd moved Bruce into another apartment where he has access to a standby care team.

Speaking on the public uproar, the source noted that "There is no drama" whatsoever between the actor's family, adding that "the whole family likes and supports the way she is looking after Bruce" and that "they feel he is very well taken care of."

"They're all dedicated to making his quality of life as good as possible," the insider added.

As reported by The Blast, amid the backlash over her revelation about Bruce's living condition, Emma hit back at critics, slamming how they are quick to judge caregivers even though they don't know what the experience of having a loved one suffering from dementia looks like.

During a conversation with Diane Sawyer, she also gave a piece of her mind, saying that too often, she is being "judged quickly and unfairly by those who haven't lived this journey or stood on the front lines of it."

"Sharing openly may invite opinions, but more importantly, it creates connection and validation for those actually navigating the realities of caregiving every day," she noted. "That's who I share for and so I can build a deeper connection with a community that understands this journey."

Emma  gave a peek into her upcoming memoir, "The Unexpected Journey," as she read an excerpt from it, which detailed her experience with a therapist who had advised her how "Nothing changes an opinion quite as powerfully as when you have an experience."

"Even if someone is closely familiar with dementia or the condition you are caring for, they aren't in your home, so they don't know how your person is behaving or your family dynamics," she said.

Emma continued, "The truth is that the opinions are so loud and they're so noisy. But if they don't have the experience of this, they don't get a say, and they definitely don't get a vote."

It appears that the actor's family is intent on making the best out of the situation and not allowing it to weigh them down.

A second source who spoke to the Daily Mail noted that it is now "a massive undertaking" looking after him, but they do it with joy.

"Occasionally, there are flashes of who he used to be, whether it is a smile or a laugh or other gestures, and everyone appreciates having those moments," the source continued.

"Now, when anyone is with him, they all enjoy their time together and don't make it into a sad thing. They'll dance, watch TV, and have dinner together. Everyone is making the best of it considering the circumstances," they added.
